Purge 500 pages

If I purge pages on Cloudfare by 30 pages a time, fallback cache doesn’t get purged and updated, despite having “Automatically purge the fallback cache when Cloudflare cache is purged” on “Yes”.

– This is because you are purging via the CF dashboard and not via the plugin. So, the plugin has no idea what pages are getting purged and so can’t clear the fallback cache. You need to purge your pages via the plugin only.

I would like to purge 500 specific pages from fallback cache, but don’t want to purge everything. Is there a way for that?

– So, I guess you are saying that you want these 500 pages to be specifically be purged from fallback cache and not from the CF cache. Unfortunately, there is no way to do that. If you have the “purge only HTML pages” option enabled under the cache tab then you can purge the whole cache via the plugin which will purge the HTML pages but not the static files.

Solution

1. Get URL (eg. domain.com/blog/this-blog-post)
2. Get path only (eg. blog/this-blog-post)
3. SHA1 hash it (eg. a94b691f757fc48979f3cee49c496f75e974c254)
4. Attach “.html”
5. Delete file (in Terminal: fm a94b691f757fc48979f3cee49c496f75e974c254.html)
6. Done

Hi @michaelcurtis,
Yes, this option is definitely possible but only for the advanced users who can perform these things but not for normal users who are trying to achieve it via plugin settings. That’s what I mean.
